Siheyuan: Married a female spy at the beginning of 1944

"Ma Liu, how have you been these past few years?"

"It's fine, Master He. To tell you the truth, although I could bully those poor people in the past, I also lived in fear every day.

Either they are afraid that the Japanese will suddenly go crazy, or they are afraid of their superiors, or they are afraid of those who are powerful.

I live like a grandson every day."

In fact, most people at this time were extremely supportive of the new society.

Because in the old society, except for a limited number of people, most people lived in fear.

Those four big families can be said to be living a life of drunkenness and debauchery, abusing their power and domineering.

But the people below are living in fear of death.

Not only low-level managers like Ma Liu, but also middle-level officials live in fear.

Now, everyone is equal.

Even if you point your finger at your leader and curse him, you won't be dragged out and shot.

Although Ma Liu could no longer act tyrannically and bully the poor people like before.

But he did feel safe.

"That's good. I feel relieved to see that you are living a comfortable life. I was afraid that you would be implicated because of me."

He Daqing originally asked Ma Liu to plot against Abe. If this matter is brought up, it is indeed not a good thing.

Later, when He Daqing massacred the Japanese, Ma Liu was also an active participant.

If the investigation is thorough, Ma Liu will probably be taught a lesson as well.

"Hey, Master He, you are wrong. I used to kill the Japanese with you, and it was a great honor for me.

You don't know, if I hadn't killed the Japanese soldiers with you, I might not even have a job as a police officer now."

He Daqing was stunned for a moment and asked

"When did you join me in killing the devils?"

He Daqing really didn't remember this happening.

Ma Liu didn't expect that He Daqing had actually forgotten it. You know, that incident had a great impact on him at that time, and he would never forget it for the rest of his life.

"Master He, have you forgotten that day when you came back from killing the devils, you met me and took me to your home.

Then he came back with a little devil and asked me to kill him!"

He Daqing remembered that he didn't want to kill Ma Liu to silence him, so he had no choice but to let Ma Liu kill a Japanese soldier as well, making Ma Liu an accomplice in the case.

But later on, they killed too many devils, so they didn't take Ma Liu seriously.

"Ah. Yes, yes, I remember now. That's good, that's good, as long as it doesn't have any bad effect on you.

I'm also afraid that the things I asked you to do would have a negative impact on you."

Ma Liu looked around and then lowered his voice and said

"Master He, don't worry, I didn't say a word about the plot against the Japanese.

Besides, there were too many police officers who did this kind of thing back then, and the law cannot hold everyone responsible. Even if they knew about it, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

By the way, Mr. He, are you staying in Beijing this time?"

What Ma Liu was most concerned about was whether He Daqing would stay there for a long time in the future.

If he was only staying for a few days, Ma Liu wouldn't have to continue his close friendship with He Daqing.

"I'll be leaving soon, and I can't say how long I'll stay."

The two of them chatted while eating.

He Daqing talked about his experiences in Hong Kong.

Ma Liu also talked about the differences between the new and old societies.

Overall, Ma Liu is still very satisfied with his current life.

"You mean, Yi Zhonghai from your hospital went to Hong Kong?"

"Yeah, I just left this morning."

As the two chatted, they talked about the people in the courtyard.

As a local police officer, Ma Liu is familiar with the people in the courtyard.

He was still shocked to hear that Yi Zhonghai went to Hong Kong.

He had known for a long time that the high-ranking officials of the Nationalist government either went to Taiwan or Hong Kong.

Some of them went to the United States.

He didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai, a little traitor, could actually go to Hong Kong.

"Mr. He, you are really capable. Do you know how strict the control is now? If you want to go to Hong Kong, you can't leave without the necessary procedures."

Ma Liu works in the police station, so he naturally knows the changes in household registration in recent years.

There were no restrictions on population movement before liberation.

There are tens of thousands of people coming to Peking every day, and it is impossible to check them.

Although there are not many restrictions on travel now, most decent people either own land or have jobs.

Generally no one hangs around.

So most people who travel either have things to do or have some problems.

Most people who do business have strict documents.

Those who have problems have nothing.

Therefore, gradually, it became a very common and normal situation to need a letter of introduction when traveling.

Traveling in the mainland is inconvenient, and going abroad is even more difficult.

So when Ma Liu heard that Yi Zhonghai actually went to Hong Kong, he was particularly surprised.

"It was mainly someone else who brought them here. I just introduced them in the middle."

Ma Liu’s eyes rolled.

"Mr. He, if there are other people who also want to go to Hong Kong, do you have any way?"

"Ok?"

“Some people have money in their pockets, but they can’t spend it, they can’t buy things, and they can’t open a shop.

So if you want to develop in another place, Hong Kong is a good choice. If you can get them to Hong Kong, you should be able to earn a lot of commissions. "

The person Ma Liu was talking about was actually his brother-in-law.

It turned out that his brother-in-law was the chief of the police station.

I have done a lot of bad things.

After liberation, he only revealed a small part of the story.

But he was fired directly for the problems he dared to explain.

Now he's a street sweeper.

It turns out that he is riding on the people's heads and acting tyrannically.

Now they are working like slaves on the streets.

Of course, Ma Liu's brother-in-law could not accept this change of identity.

So I complained a lot when I was at home.

I also always wanted to escape from Peking.

It's just that his identity is a bit embarrassing.

He is not a high-ranking official and does not have any connections.

There is no way to leave.

Also, although he had some money in his pocket, it wasn't a lot.

Moreover, this money cannot be taken out and cannot be seen in public.

All this money was obtained illegally back then.

If he takes it out, his guilt will be aggravated.

I have money in my pocket but I can’t spend it, and I’m always worried that the wrong things I did in the past will be dug up.

It would be strange if he could live a comfortable life.

Ma Liu also knew that if anything happened to his brother-in-law, he would naturally be implicated.

So when he heard that He Daqing could send people to Hong Kong, he immediately had an idea.

As long as I get rid of this brother-in-law, I will be able to live a more comfortable life in the future.

Not only that, no one at home tells me what to do anymore.

There is no need to worry about being implicated by this brother-in-law.

"I don't have any connections. I don't dare to do this. You should find someone else. By the way, are there many people who want to leave?"

He Daqing also knew that if someone was successful, someone else must have failed.

Judging from the current situation, those who are capable are poor people and ordinary people.

So who is the loser?
